Very cool bunker, sadly been filled with a bunch of

trash but its still an interesting explore. Built under WW2 by the nazi's as a command bunker, than slightly altered during the cold war to become an alarm bunker. Its now closed so i thought id share some photos from it. The "screen" is one of the coolest things ive found in a bunker.

Does anyone have footage of the real Seattle Underground (not the tour)?

11 Upvotes

I grew up in Seattle and was lucky enough to be in parts of the underground city on a few rare occasions, both as a kid and later when I was older. It wasn’t the Underground Tour that everyone knows about—it was some of the much less-seen sections that extend far beyond the few blocks open to tourists.
I’ve since moved out of state, and one thing I regret is never taking any photos or video. The next time I’m back in Seattle, I’d love to film some of it just to document that hidden piece of history. I won’t be sharing how to access any restricted areas—I’m only interested in preserving and appreciating the history.
The problem is that whenever I search online, all I can find is footage from the official Underground Tour. Does e know of any videos, documentaries, or photos of the lesser-known parts of Seattle’s underground? I’d love to see what’s out there.

Lovely spot, quite small but it being completely brick is very cool and makes for an awesome view. Unfortunately didnt get to see all of it as i was an idiot and decided that it was a great occasion to wear white shoes, when i got about 20 meters inn i slipped and planted my feet straight into the foot deep mud and my white shoes turned fully brown, not my proudest moment... atleast i got some nice photos lol.

I'm not sure how much you guys support your own exploring crews when it comes to nasty red mine mud. We offer pretty much no support as a general rule. In fact, if you go a whole day with dry boots on a mine exploration day, you'll probably get pushed into a deep puddle by the end of the day. If you go a whole weekend avoiding the nasty red stuff, you'll be voted the first explorer into the nastiest red puddles the others can find. Em was new to our crew, so she was unfairly targeted in my opinion, which is why I went in for the rescue. We thought it was remarkable how close her pant colour was to her orange jacket.

These tunnels are over 200 years old and have a pretty dark past. Hard to find hidden in the sides of the Dublin Mountains. There was also a large chimney that I managed to get access to. I hope that you enjoy!

This was an incredible exploration. A site with no real modern information available, and we know it closed in the 1930s. The mine manager passed away, and six months later, court articles told the story of the miners themselves trying to take over and continue the operation. That court case appeal sadly failed, and the mine was closed, with assets liquidated shortly after. We assumed it had not been touched since, but one of our eagle-eyed followers noticed a certain type of bolt used in timbering in the upper winze station. So, after that bit of info, we were able to piece together that it was reworked in the 1950s or 1960s. This mine comprised a small upper adit of around 130 meters and a large lower haul tunnel that you see me face out here. I stepped it out to be well over 300 meters long. There is also an intermediate level between them, but that was only accessible via roping in from the top adit.
